Campus Safety

Ensuring your safety and security and that of our community is the UC Merced Police Department’s top priority; that is why each officer, public safety dispatcher and Community Service Officer (CSO) is highly trained and focused on customer service to meet your needs. They also are some of the friendliest people you will meet on campus and are here to serve you 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Some ways we keep you safe: » » Emergency Blue Lights are direct lines to dispatch located around campus. In an emergency, anyone can use the blue lights to talk directly to dispatch in order to get assistance quickly or request a safety escort.

» » Online bike and electronics registration increases the chance that they will be recovered if stolen.

» » Emergency messages are sent to your cell phone and/or email address using UCM Alert, UC Merced’s emergency notification system.
